It's a triple layer paint called Rosso Maranello, Ferrari's version of candy apple red

A couple more in the detail shop...

Very cool - I was assuming it wasnt Rosso Corsa or Rosso Scuderia. This must be a pretty rare color - no?

Hi 07CarreraS,
First, congrats on a great selection of cars. Couple of questions if you don't mind. Assuming you have 18ways on turbo-S, carbon race seats on 488, total opposites in design, is that why you find the 488 more tiring after a longer drive? Perhaps the turbo-S being more of a touring car vs. 488 being more of a GT experience?
Do you do any track driving, if so would love to here your comparison on track driving as well. Are you finding 2017 488s well equipped for about 230K?
Good luck, Thank you.

Yes I have the 18 ways in the Turbo. The carbon buckets in the 488 do get a little tiring after a while but not too bad. The headrest feels to far back though. I don't track the cars. Yet.....
You can find 488's with higher miles with decent options. Carbon Fiber is gets out of hand and will drive the price up. You will pay over 260K for low mileage well equipped 488's.
